Nov 16, 2013  Updating Barcode Hi All. I have a question regarding the possibility of having a bar-code updating every time the information in the reference cell changes. The format I am using is the default format supplied by Microsoft Excel =EMBED('BARCODE.BarcodeCtrl.1','). I don't have a barcode control. Either it's hidden away in.

• Microsoft Excel ActiveX Controls Disabled? 11 answers

So at work I ran into this issue after I installed the most recent Windows 7 updates (including Microsoft Office 2010 updates) - the date up the update was today (Dec 12, 2014).

After the update, I opened my macro enabled workbook in Excel 2010 and basically anything that referenced ActiveX controls (checkboxes, buttons) no longer worked. My auto_open was checking checkboxes and couldn't run.. it kept erroring at the first checkbox check. The buttons are also no longer clickable.

Before you say it, I have checked my trust settings and allowed all ActiveX and Macros, but no change. If anyone has any advice, I'm all ears. Due to me not being an admin, I cannot due too many things as far as Windows goes.

We had this somewhat shocking issue yesterday on several machines with Excel 2007.

By rolling back Security updates for office one by one, we determined that this was being caused by update KB2596927 from 9 December 2014 - Link

After this update, not only did many macro-enabled worksheets break down upon activating macros due to their ActiveX controls being killed, but also no classic ActiveX controls (button, checkbox, etc.) could be inserted into a blank workbook any longer!

CONFIRM AS SOLVED: I can confirm that the answer to delete the file C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalTempExcel8.0MSForms.exd has worked for me!

Thank you guys!

Here is more information on EXD files

This was resolved also in another post on this forum

Resolved issue !

• Close Excel
• Rename or delete this file (at your own risk) : C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalTempExcel8.0MSForms.exd

It would be rebuild after Excel reopens. My ActiveX et macros are working good !

Have a good day !

As a quick fix and workaround use this tool:

Basically remove all “.exd” files which represent the cache of the forms.

I want to use a barcode-scanner (+ data matrix) to perform an input in an existing excel file (*.xlsx). The content of the scanned code should be devidied into two cells, split accoring to a tabulator symbol.

I have generated the following data matrix with the content Hans<tab>Müller where <tab> equals the decimal character code of 9 in ASCII.

Scanning the matrix in Notepad++ (focus in Notepad, scanning the matrix) results in the correct result. But if I try the procedure in excel (selecting a cell, scanning the matrix), the input is HansMüller. I expected 'Hans' in the selected cell and 'Müller' in the cell next to the selected one. So, what am I doing wrong?

How can I read the content of a data matrix into multiple cells in excel?

Update:I am using the scanner ElmiScan ECR14 from elmicron. The website http://codecorp.com/ConfigGuide/?product=CR1400 provides a list of all configuration 'codes' (CR1400 equalls ECR14).

If I enable Control Character Input - Ctrl + Character as suggested by Brian, Excel reads HansMÄller and still ignores the tab.

I am getting 'Hans<tab>Mller' in plain old Notepad, and HansMller in Excel indicating that Excel is interpreting the <CTRL-I> as a 'let's start typingin italics now'. My system is probably dropping the 'ü' because of my U.S. keyboard.

When I copy from Notepad into Excel, however the embedded tab character has the desired result and advances to the next cell. This indicates to me that the scanner is in the default state of 'Disable Function Key Mapping' and has interpreted the <CTRL-I> you have in the Datamatrix barcode as the keystroke<CTRL-I> instead of the <TAB> key.

The solution is to place the scanner into 'Enable Function Key Mapping' mode, which is not the default mode by scanning the Function Key Mapping barcodes in your scanner manual.

EDIT: So, I've reviewed the website and 1400 Configuration Guide and needless to say, they disagree. So it looks like there are a few different options for setting keyboard language support, which is where I think the problem lies.

Excel Barcode Control

I would start with the Config Guide and test modes B4, D3, D2, C3, B2, and B3 in that order.

Then I would move onto the website based guide and check out each of the following modes just to be sure.

The fact that after your previous experiment the 'ü' turns into a 'Ä' tells me we are on the right track. One of these settings should produce an ASCII <TAB> keyboard character for Excel. If none of these works, I would contact technical support at Elmicron.
